The Navy ROTC Program educates and trains young men and women for exciting careers as commissioned officers in the Navy or Marine Corps Reserve. As the largest single source of Navy and Marine Corps officers, the NROTC Scholarship can help prepare you for leadership and management careers in an increasingly technical Navy and Marine Corps.

If you are selected for the NROTC Scholarship Program you will be eligible for scholarships, and receive full tuition, books, fees and other financial benefits at many of the country's leading colleges and universities.

Scholarships

The NROTC Scholarship Program is available to high school graduates. If you are selected for the NROTC Scholarship, you will make your own arrangements for college enrollment, room, and board. You will be expected to take the normal course load required by the college or university for degree completion in addition to meeting NROTC specific academic guidelines.

Becoming an Officer

Upon graduation, you will be commissioned as an Ensign in the Navy Reserve or a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve. Midshipmen without scholarships may also receive a commission through the College Program. College Program midshipmen must serve at least three years of active duty service if they accept a commission. The service commitment times vary according to what community in which the graduate has selected to serve.
